Asheville could probably top the list of towns that make the most lists.

Outside magazine announced Wednesday that Asheville is one of 16 Best Towns in the country for vibrant cultural scenes and outdoor spirit.

"Every year, when Outside releases its annual Best Towns issue, the editors receive threats from residents of places like Bend, Oregon, and Missoula, Montana, suggesting they will cause bodily harm for encouraging hordes to move to their personal paradise," said Outside magazine editor Chris Keyes in a press release.

"Outside tapped a rocket scientist (seriously) to combine factors including access to outdoor adventure, healthy eating options, green, open spaces, unemployment rates, median incomes, and an editor's choice variable to summarize how livable a place is, with 100 being the outdoorsman's perfect paradise," the magazine said in the announcement.

So what's Asheville's "O-Score?" 80. Here's the math:

Asheville, North Carolina (O-Score: 80): West Asheville has 1920s-era bungalows going for as little as $189,000 (citywide median: $195,500). Outfitters, health care, and the food and beverage industries make up the largest share of the local economy (median household income: $42,333).
